Korean vishing criminal escapes from Philippine prison... Korean government launches response

Mr. Park, former head of a telephone financial fraud vishing (also known as voice phishing) ring who became infamous as "Team Leader Kim Mi-young," has escaped from a prison in the Philippines.
According to South Korean Foreign Ministry and police officials on the 8th, Park fled during transfer after attending a trial in the Philippines late last month. South Korean authorities are working with Philippine law enforcement agencies to investigate Park's escape.
The police are cooperating with the police to ensure the swift arrest of Park. After being fired from his police force in 2008 on suspicion of bribery, Park opened a call center in the Philippines in 2012 and ran a telephone financial fraud ring.
The group, under the guise of Team Leader Kim Mi-yeon, sent text messages to an unspecified number of people, then called automatic response systems (ARS) to ask for loan advice and tricked victims into handing over their personal information.
Police believe that Park is the mastermind behind the scheme used by "Team Leader Kim Mi-young" to scam the company out of tens of billions of won (JPY 3,000,000).
Park remained on the run even after other members of the group were arrested in 2013. However, he was arrested in the Philippines in October 2021 and was expected to be deported to South Korea.
Park was allegedly prolonging his imprisonment and delaying his deportation by committing additional crimes.
